[laughter] your interests state to state are confident and complementary. you don't have to love each other, but you have to have -- but you have a big agenda with each other. a big agenda that requires you to work together. it is very important for mr. benjamin netanyahu to work together with you, you of course are the great power, israel is the small power. but you have a role to play in building a new relationship with him as well. secondly, and here i will echo in a certain fashion what jim jeffries said. the second that i would put on this list is the prime minister of iraq iraq is the third real of the middle east diplomacy no one m
